In the 1950's, seventeen-year old Harry Potter moves to Grennwich Village, NY to pursue a career as a ballet dancer. Professionally, he finds a place as a chorus dancer at the old Metropolitan Opera house and becomes a member of the "Sex Squad" --those chorus dancers well build enough to carry off the skimpy costumse in Aida. Personally, he quickly becomes the focul point in a tempestuous, complicated love triangle with two of his fellow dancer. Torn between passion and his true love--dancing--Harry must come to a decision about whom he loves, who he is, and what he is willing to sacrifice for the world of ballet.

Praise for The Sex Squad

"Leddick uses an in-group of both (in)famous and imaginary characters to recall a memorable era in New York culture. The mixed cast will especially please opera queens of all persuasions." --Booklist on The Sex Squad

"Reading The Sex Squad is like...spending a pleasureable hour captivated by a master of self-revealing and self-glorifying anecdoate." --Lambda Book Report

"Though no holds are barred in the description of their sexual antics, this is not just an orgiastic world...The Sex Squad will be especially interesting to balletomanes, as the celebrities of that world are featured--including Mr. Bing and Anthony Tudor in questionable circumstances." --Quentin Crisp

"Leddick evokes a delicate air of melancholy as his narrator considers the ravages of time and illness." --The New York Times Book Review on The Sex Squad

"A disarming and memorable debut...Gay fiction of high order: insightful, funny, prickly, opinionated, knowing, lovely, and sad." --Kirkus Reviews on My Worst Date
